One of the nicest things anyone has ever said to me (this on the telephone before any other words were spoken) was, ”Stanford, I really like your poetry.” The sentiment rather startled me: How often, anymore, do people like poetry? As I thought about it, of course, the more important question arose: when did poetry stop being likable? What led even the poet, Marianne Moore, to say, “I, too, dislike it”? One could say that it is clearly not the intent of war poems to be “likable,” but insofar as such poems communicate their meaning clearly and powerfully, we are attracted to them, and take them into ourselves. And there is very little we take into ourselves that, in some curious way, we don't like. My philosophy of poetry is very simple: no tune, no lilt, no melody—no poetry. As the rhythm, in jazz, enables us to lower our defenses so that our ears can make sense of the succession of notes, so rhythm, in poetry, carries the meanings expressed; Frost called it “the sound of sense,” and claimed that by the way he manipulated rhythm, he could make you believe almost the exact opposite of what his words were saying. (It is worth noting that the pace of all Western music never strays too, too far from the human heartbeat; there is a pronounced limit to how fast it can be, or how slow, and it is the human heartbeat that sets those limits.) My instinctual way of creating rhythm is derived from a) the use of a more or less iambic beat, and b) rhyme. The problem, of course, is that the combination of rhyme and iambic beat can quickly become monotonous, and worse, quickly deteriorate to singsong. I try to circumvent these pitfalls by interspersing non-rhyming poetry among the rhyming, and not using rhyme for the sake of rhyme, but for the sake of interest and pleasure. I believe Frost (and I make no secret of his influence on me) is correct in saying, “poetry begins in the nursery rhyme.” T. S. Eliot pointed out that the first way a poem communicates is visually. That is the reason I cleave to traditional three-, four-, and five-line stanzas, and try to write in uniform line lengths. Not for me the indiscriminate long line followed by a very short line followed by a medium, so-so line followed by . . . and so on. In most instances, I capitalize every line of a poem; I simply cannot understand why so many poets capitalize their poems the way they would capitalize prose. What is the advantage? I want everything clean, accessible, and orderly. I am aware that this gives my poetry an old-fashioned look (and definitely does not arouse sympathy from editors of poetry magazines), but if it makes my poetry likable, it is a price I will willingly pay. Robert Penn Warren said “the greatest literature is that which appeals to the most people, and the most different kinds of people.” But poetry has become a rather specialized art, for a needlessly specialized audience. Gone forever are the days when Lord Byron could sell six thousand copies of a book in one month, or ten thousand of another on the day of publication. Still, we take immediate and instinctive pleasure in lyrics drawn from the Great American Songbook; is there any reason we can't still derive immediate and instinctive pleasure from poetry?

While spending forty-two years in the Nursing Profession, I learned that writing my thoughts and feelings was therapeutic. I filled many nurses notes and thus my two novels, Living, Love, and Power and now Lost Dreams Restored. Both novels came from a deep need within my being: the first to know my God on a deeper level and the second novel, to explore these holy or unholy bonds of matrimony! Come with us through our heroine's journey. Can you identify with her? Is your marriage or life all you would like it to be? Would you long to have your Lost Dreams Restored?

After years of abuse, endless struggles and, through no fault of her own, many failures, this gentle woman decides a change of lifestyle may be for the best. Several relocations, both within her adopted England and back to her homeland, eventually follow. Nevertheless, many ‘challenges’ continue to trouble her and yet again, her historic naivety and innocence are taken advantage of. She faces the potential of being shot, knifed and cut into pieces and has encounters with her homeland’s native wildlife; deadly snakes etc. Then, on top of all that, she witnesses the degrading abuse of relatives that she is powerless to prevent. Ultimately abandoning her dreams, she returns to her adopted country hoping for peace. But, it was never to be. This is the third and final book in an abridged series recording this amazing life.

How does a homeless, once employed chef, living in his car become a Doctor of Psychology and Licensed Therapist? By going to AA instead of driving his car off an oceanfront cliff. This book offers an insight into how the 12 step process and societal fellowship combine to provide an individual with many of the benefits that psycho-therapeutic procedures administered by psychologists and mental health clinics do as well. This book was written with the purpose of bridging the gap between psychology and the 12 steps in the hope of increasing treatment success. It was written for therapists who are not substance abusers or in recovery in the hope that it may provide insight into the mind of the alcoholic/addict, while providing a useable lexicon. This book is written for any and all who may have an interest in the world of substance abuse treatment, psycho-therapy, and a few of the other 12 step programs.

"This monograph was stimulated by the extraordinary growth now apparent in an area, generally identified as sleep and dream research, for this recent concentration of scientific effort offers a singular example of the power that basic research can exert in penetrating the problems of mental health and illness. In the past year alone, the National Institute of Mental Health supported over 60 projects related in whole or in part to studies of sleep and dreams, with awards totaling over $2 million. The work of many of these NIMH investigators is included in this summary, which extends beyond the Institute's program insofar as necessary to indicate the major trends of work in the area. The report cannot, of course, encompass the classical studies already summarized in published literature, nor even provide comprehensive survey of present-day sleep research, for although much of the scientific data on sleep have been generated during the last dozen years, significant references in this field now number in the many thousands. The mosaic of disciplines contributing to the study of sleep contains such diverse fields as psychiatry, and mathematics, psychology, and biochemistry, physiology, and anthropology. Nevertheless, ferment about the subject matter and a spirit of cooperation across traditional disciplinary lines have made it possible to knit together data that might otherwise have lain unrelated in a variety of laboratories. During the past year, individual summaries of many of the projects cited here were distributed to scientists working in the field of sleep and dreams. Many of the recipients felt that up-to-date reports, especially in a field of such dynamic activity, represented a unique solution to the problem of scientific information exchange. Such communication, it was felt, provided a quick look at work in progress that might prevent duplication of effort and stimulate pertinent contacts among scientists, thus aiding them in their work. It is hoped that this monograph will be a further part of that process."--Foreword.
